Ford's classroom cuts are hurting students. He’s thrown mud at educators, set a bad tone for negotiations, and instead of doing the hard work of bringing all parties back to the table — to keep our students and educators in the class — he’s on recess. Ontarians deserve better.

Where is Mr. Ford? Hiding from the mess he’s made. It’s time for Ford to show some leadership: come out of hiding, reverse the classroom cuts, stop picking fights with the education workers who make our schools work everyday and put students first by getting a fair agreement.
